What is the most significant neurotransmitter in the basal ganglia? dopamine
In vertebrates the basal ganglia is located in the base of the forebrain. The basal ganglia is associated with a variety of functions such as voluntary motor control, eye habits and emotional functions.
As basal ganglia is involved in controlling your muscle activity, any lesions or damages to your basal ganglia might cause hypertonia and/or various abnormal involuntary and purposeless movements. Some examples of diseases that are related to basal ganglia are parkinson's disease, chorea, athetosis and hemiballismus.
The Basal Nuclei or the Basal Ganglia
The plural of ganglion is ganglia or ganglions.
Damage to the basal ganglia cells may cause problems with one's ability to control speech, movement, and posture. A person with basal ganglia dysfunction may have difficulty starting, stopping, or sustaining movement.Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders.

The basic cause of choreic movements is overactivity of a neurotransmitter called dopamine in a set of structures deep within the brain known as the basal ganglia.

Disruptions in other portions of the basal ganglia are thought to cause tics, tremors , dystonia, and a variety of other movement disorders
Basal ganglia calcification, also known as Fahr disease, is a rare genetically dominant, inherited neurological disorder characterized by abnormal deposits of calcium in areas of the brain that control movement.Build-up in your basal ganglia can also happen because of infection, problems with your parathyroid gland, and for other reasons. When it happens this way, it is also known as basal ganglia calcification, but is different from the genetic form of the disease.
